Crochet Cupcake Halloween Costume

October 16, 2017

Well, this was supposed to be for Zoe but I guess I got carried away and this Crochet Cupcake Costume ended up fitting me! So Zoe gets to be a princess as she originally requested and now I’m not the only one in the family without a costume 🙂

This is actually a really quick project! I finished the whole thing within a day! And just brainstorming here but I bet you could definitely make this smaller by using a smaller hook and even switching to worsted weight yarn!

Below is what your two pieces should look like! Yes, they will look short but there is a TON of stretch to the yarn and it sages when you wear it. This is definitely what caught me off-guard when I “thought” I was making it to fit a 4 year old LOL!

Stitch top cupcake pieces onto the hoop using your tapestry needle. Each piece should fit halfway around the hoop.

Stitch up sides of the two top cupcakes pieces! At this point you can also sew the straps to the back side of the cupcake top as well.

Crochet scallops along the bottom edge of the pink cupcake top (this is the part that will hang over the hoop).

Scallop Pattern: Join yarn at any point along bottom edge of pink cupcake top Skip two stitches and make 5 DC stitches in next stitch, skip 2 stitches and join with a slip stitch, repeat around.

Since my Crochet Cupcake Costume turned out too big for Zoe, I told her she could pick out a store bought outfit. She chose for her and daddy to be Beauty and the Beast! I am loving this even though it’s not crochet 🙂

This is amazing. I’m going to attempt making one for myself. The only problem I’m having is finding a Hula Hoop that is the proper size. Is there a way you calculated the decreases for the bottom half that maybe I could figure out a way to do it with a larger hoop? I’m currently have 160 sc on my Hoop, instead of the 112.
